SAN ANTONIO ADVENTURE!!!
Saturday, August 9, 2008
Ok so as you know i just went to San Antonio with a few great people... well it was fun. ok so there were a couple of crappy moments but it was (overall) a fun time. ill give you an overview of what all we did with a couple of pictures.
DAY 1.
we left at about 9 in the morning but for some reason we didnt actually get on the road until about 10:30. the drive wasnt so bad other than the frustration of yelling back and forth over the phone "well tom tom us telling us this. well mapquest is telling us this". ok first off ill throw your tom tom out the window. not really. anyway. so we got there around 3. WELL the lady at the counter says that it is about $50 more than it actually is so she sends me in the buisness center to print out the email and i dont have it. well i have "Hampton" stored in my phone. i thought this was the 800 number not the actual hotel. i was wrong. so i call and say "hey im here at the hotel and this lady is telling me that its way more expensive than the email says so could you give it to me again?" she was like dude this is the same person that you just talked to. keep in mind that seconds before i called she told shanita and meagan that she was going to give us the room for 139 a night anyway(which is way cheaper than it was supposed to be). anyway. long story short i was embarrassed. well we get up to our room(which was awesome btw) and we get all dressed up to go to a nice night out on the town. we went to the river walk and ate at a restaurant called boudros. it was really good and really expensive(like $40). i got this blackened steak that had this sauce on top that i could freakin swim in. then we went to walmart and got some crap and went home and slept.












DAY 2.
We went tubin...Ok so floating on the Guadalupe river for 5 hours sounds sounds fun, right? well let me just tell you. its not all its cracked up to be. we get there after about an hour and a half drive of us saying "look how pretty" *side note- it was only supposed to be an hour drive- we got lost* well when we get there the lady told us that the river was 65 degrees. yes. 65 degrees Fahrenheit. i had to google how to spell that. well in case you dont know you temperatures THATS EFFIN COLD. ok after about 20 minutes i got over the cold. well on the way i hit every rapid, every rock, got stuck on every section of trees. well i go into this thinking im going to die on this river because i cant swim. well after the 5 hour float im thinking yes i conquered my fear of the river so i stand up to walk to the truck that carries you back to the car so you can go home. keep in mind i am literally 10 feet from being done with this entire day. i slip in a patch of algae and fall right on my face in a huge patch of tree roots. i knocked the breath out of myself. all i could do was think omg i just broke my ribs. it was painful. i dont know if you have ever been without air but it sucks and there is nothing you can do but wait it out. it was probably only like 30 seconds but it felt like an hour of me laying on the ground in this river squeezing out the f word every couple of seconds. i was glad that was over. we went to burger kind and ate and let me tell you that was some good chicken sandwich. we went back to the hotel and got cleaned up and then ordered pizza. san antonio has a really good dominoes BTW. then we went to walmart(to get stuff for my really strange sunburn) and then to bed.








DAY 3
We went to schlitterbahn which apparently means water slide in german. well that day started off with a 2 hour wait for a ride called "the master blaster" which makes for a really dirty joke if your not careful. well the ride was about a minute. but it was really worth it. meagan bought a key chain with the picture of us on it after the ride. it was cool. then we ate food. it made me sick so thats about all that i did the whole day other than the family ride(that is only made for families of 4). i bought 2 really cool shot glasses to add to my collection. well me and meagan found some chairs at the resort part of the park and sat there for 4 hours while kegg shanita and nathan rode like 20 rides. then we went to the hotel. later that night we put taco bell in the tom tom *side note- tom tom is satan* and it took us to an underpass and said you have reached your destination. well we saw a mexican restaurant called taqueria la tapatia and it turned out to be really good and cheap i must say. they didnt speak english at all so it came in handy that i knew how to say "donde esta el baño" which means where is the bathroom. we went to walmart after that(of course because it is vacation) and they had half of the parking lot blocked off because they were cleaning it. i was so mad. anyway. i bought some milk. and then we slept :).
i didnt take any pictures this day so ill put this picture of a monkey with an ipod.

DAY 4
ok day 4 was quite possibly my favorite day. youll find out why im just a couple of sentences. well this was coheed day... first we ate arbys which is always a good way to start out the day. then we went to get in line at this concert at 3 well it was 104 degrees outside. we were really hot. it was so worth it tho. well for me. i dont think it was for shanita and kegg. so we met up with lacey and andie(reid and philip came later) well at 7 the doors opened and we all RAN in. well nobody told me there was a step down and i did this sort of forward roll thing and landed back on my feet *i could never do it in PE when i was getting graded on it* well i still sprinted up to the gate. so the first band was good. this guy came pushing up on lacey and they are yelling back and forth and this guy thinks that he is going to put his hand in laceys face. i was already almost over meagan to jump this fool when philip goes off on him. that was enough for me well after the second band(that sucked BTW) meagan started beating this girl up so i had to rip meagan off of this slut(who just so happened to be the girlfriend of the guy that i almost had to kill). well then coheed started to play and it got crazy. everyone was pushing and crowd surfing to the point that i had to get out because i was about to pass out. just at i try to get out i got kicked in the back of the head by some crowd surfer wearing boots. that and the heat combined caused me to black out and somehow i ended up outside. well like clockwork one by one everyone else in "our party" ended up outside too. so lacey and them went back to their hotel and we stayed around to see if we could meet them. WE DID. i got all of them to sign my spider man wallet. IT WAS SO AMAZING. they were the coolest people in the world. anyway. that was my favorite day.



















DAY 5
we left at 12 and we stopped at a place called chipotle which is a really good restaurant that is cheap. and then we drove home.





now i could say something more about it but this blog is WAY to long and its 5 in the morning. ok well have a good day.
